THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Philippines on Wednesday stood by the merits of its proposed mandatory product certification for solar energy systems. “This is about protecting Filipino consumers from low-quality and potentially unsafe products that may fail after only a short period of use or put homes and establishments at risk,” Trade Secretary Cristina Roque said, noting that the proposed measure will ensure that solar energy products sold in the country must comply with Philippine National Standards. The certification also aims to prevent substandard or rejected solar products from entering the country. “By upholding clear quality standards, the government seeks to give Filipinos greater confidence that the solar [power] systems they invest in are durable, properly tested and capable of delivering real savings over the long term,” said Roque.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/06/04/business/top-business/dti-solar-product-standards-to-protect-consumers/2358007 (ICE SINGAPORE)
